Chapter 794 Like Daughter, Like Mother
In the backyard.
Hanyu Nan crossed his arms and smiled as he watched Yingying and the Walking Grass family running around on the grassland.
He was watching Pokémon.
And someone was watching him.
Kisaki Eri stood in front of the window of the guest room on the second floor. The sunlight shone through the window onto her, giving her a soft golden edge, but it could not dispel the surprise in her eyes.
The scene in the backyard was beyond her comprehension - the vast area comparable to the prairie, those strange round creatures with leaves on their heads, and those monster mountain rabbits and mountain frogs...it was all too incredible.
The barrister felt like he was dreaming.
"What the hell is this..."
Her eyes involuntarily followed Hanyu Kusunoki's figure.
The boy was squatting on the grass, gently stroking those creatures that looked like grass. The sunlight shone on his profile, outlining a perfect outline.
Hibiki Eri suddenly realized that what she knew about her future son-in-law might not be just the tip of the iceberg.
Who is he?
Why does he have such magical powers?
Where did those creatures come from?
Hanyu Kusunoki and Xiaolan never told Kisaki Eri about the extraordinary world. They have always explained everything to the lawyer in the name of science.
However, no matter how stupid Kisaki Eri was, she now realized that something was wrong.
Not to mention, if she were stupid, there would be no smart people in the world.
Now that she had witnessed these scenes with her own eyes, no matter how slow she was, she realized that things were not that simple and these scenes could not be explained by science alone.
Countless questions swirled in her mind, but she could not find the answers. The only thing that was certain was that her son-in-law was hiding too many secrets.
"Click——"
The slight sound of the door opening interrupted Kisaki Eri's thoughts.
Hanyu Kusunoki had returned to the villa at some point and was walking through the corridor, preparing to go downstairs for breakfast.
Kisaki Eri subconsciously took a step back, her heartbeat suddenly accelerating.
The voices she overheard last night, the images she saw this morning, and the magical scene she just witnessed in the backyard, all mixed together, and she didn't know how to face this boy.
She gently closed the curtains and decided to temporarily avoid being alone with Hanyu Kusunoki. Now she needed time to sort out her chaotic thoughts.
......
In the corridor, just as Hanyu Kusunoki reached the stairs, an elegant figure suddenly appeared from the corner.
Tomoko Suzuki.
The queen of the business empire changed into a dark purple home dress today. The fabric was soft and fitted, outlining the perfect curves of a mature woman. Her short hair was slightly wet, as if she had just been bathed, and exuded a faint rose scent.
"Good morning, Xiaonan." Suzuki Tomoko's voice was low and lazy, with the hoarseness unique to waking up in the morning.
"Aunt Tomoko, did you have a good rest?"
Hanyu Kusunoki stopped and smiled.
The distance between the two was only one meter, and there was a subtle tension in the air. Suzuki Tomoko did not answer immediately, but walked slowly closer, her high heels making a dull sound on the carpet.
"You sleep... very differently." She finally stopped in front of Hanyu Kusunoki, slightly raised her head to look at the boy who was half a head taller than her, and a meaningful smile appeared on her red lips, "Especially during the... concert in the middle of the night."
Hanyu Kusunoki raised an eyebrow: "Concert?"
"Hmm." Suzuki Tomoko gently stroked her earlobe with her fingers, her eyes ambiguous, "It's a very... passionate piece of music, and the high notes are especially outstanding."
Hanyu Nan immediately understood the implication of her words. He was surprised by her boldness and found it interesting. A hint of amusement flashed in his eyes: "It seems that the sound insulation effect is not ideal. I hope I didn't disturb your rest."
"On the contrary." Suzuki Tomoko took a step forward, and the two were so close that they could feel each other's breath. "I really enjoy this kind of...improvisation."
She casually ran her fingers over Hanyu Kusunoki's collar, smoothing out the nonexistent wrinkles. "Actually, I was wondering... when can I hear the solo version?"
Ok……
Is this a hint to him?
This must be a hint to him!
Hanyu Kusunoki now knows who Sonoko and Ayako inherited their bold, proactive, and love-crazy personalities from.
Like daughter, like mother.
Suzuki Tomoko's bold and undisguised suggestion is exactly the same as her daughters' passionate and proactive emotional attitude.
He lowered his head slightly, leaned forward, took a slow step forward, and put his lips close to Tomoko's ear: "That depends on...the audience's level of appreciation."
Suzuki Tomoko's breathing was visibly rapid for a moment, but she quickly regained her composure as a queen: "Oh? Are you worried that I...don't understand?"
“No.” Hanyu Kusunoki calmly took a half step back, keeping a seemingly polite distance, but his eyes never left Suzuki Tomoko’s. “I’m worried that the music is too intense and not suitable for all listeners.”
Suzuki Tomoko chuckled, her laughter was as mellow as aged red wine: "Xiao Nan, you underestimate me."
She glanced at her fingers meaningfully, "The endurance I have acquired at the business negotiation table is much stronger than you think."
Hanyu Kusunoki smiled slightly but did not respond.
When masters fight, they stop when they have reached the limit.
Although the person in front of him is his mother-in-law, Hanyu Kusunoki will not let her take the initiative so easily.
The sense of accomplishment that comes from conquering a beautiful queen who is a big shot in the business world is extremely strong.
Suzuki Tomoko sighed regretfully, her expression slightly regretful: "It seems that our...music discussion will have to wait until another day."
As she spoke, she took another step forward, and while adjusting her collar, she deliberately brushed her red lips almost across Hanyu Kusunoki's earlobe, and whispered softly: "But don't worry, I will... make an appointment for a private performance next time."
After saying that, she turned around gracefully and went downstairs.
When they reached the corner, Suzuki Tomoko looked back at Hanyu Kusunoki, her eyes full of determination to win.
Hanyu Kusunoki stood there, watching the business queen's back as she left, a playful smile on her lips.
Tomoko Suzuki was truly unique—strong, smart, and extremely aggressive.
However, this dangerous game has just begun.
Hanyu Kusunoki turned around and looked at the half-open door in the corridor with interest.
It is really curious who will win the final victory in this "war" between the two mothers-in-law.
..........
Behind the door, the barrister clenched his teeth tightly.
Suzuki Tomoko's bold teasing was still fresh in her mind, and Hanyu Kusunoki's response made her feel suffocated.
"This shameless woman..."
Hibiki Eri gritted her teeth and whispered, her nails digging into her palms unconsciously, "How dare you seduce Nan-chan like this..."
